These updates contain new maps, new cinematic quest lines and even new mechanics. Every three months, they introduce a living story update which I think the name is a bit misleading because they're basically DLC-sized quarterly updates and as long as you log in and you bought Path of Fire, you get it for free.
Path of Fire released September of last year. Just to be clear there are other criticisms and comparisons against Elder Scrolls Online when compared to Guild Wars 2, particularly performance and weight of combat but this thread is strictly about the business model.įirst and foremost, living story. So I recently went back to revisit Guild Wars 2 first time since the base game launched and I was blown away by how much ArenaNet delivers.
